GV II
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, now motor parts warehouse. Dated 1843 in pediment;
altered. Coursed squared sandstone with granite quoins and dressings, rear and
south side of uncoursed rubble; slate roof. Rectangular plan on east-west axis,
4x4 bays, gable to road. Two storeys over an exposed basement; the symmetrical
4-bay pedimented facade has raised quoins and round-headed openings with
quoined surrounds; it is set back from the pavement of the road and the central
entrance is approached by a ramped bridge over the basement area, protected by
cast-iron railings on low walls which are curved outwards at the ends; the
doorway has a raised keystone and fanlight with curvilinear tracery (c.1900), and
modern glazed doors; 2 windows at ground floor (now boarded) and 4 at 1st floor
with c.1900 joinery making 2 round-headed lights; and a hollow-moulded cornice
to the pediment, which is filled by a parallel triangular sunk panel containing an
oculus with moulded surround, and beneath this "WESLEY CHAPEL 1843" in
attached metal lettering. Two ventilators on roof ridge. The basement and side
walls have square-headed windows, those in the basement now boarded and the
others with wooden ogee-headed tracery of c.1900 and Art Deco stained glass.
The rear has a shallow apse with 2 small round-headed windows and monopitched
roof. Interior: despite the change of use, most of the essential features of the
original chapel have been retained: a horseshoe gallery on iron Tuscan columns
with coupled brackets supporting a jettied front which is panelled and decorated
with stencilled designs (c.1900); semi-elliptical arch to choir gallery, with fluted
Corinthian pilasters; large ceiling rose. History: built mainly by one donor,
Edward Burall (reference, Thomas Shaw A History of Cornish Methodism, 1967,
p.36).
